The Value of London Land.


1t has been ascertained, with regard
to the Imperial institute, that the site
of about five acres recently secured for
the new Admiralty of War Offices is
valued at 9S20,000. or rather over
100000 per acre; that now vacant in
Charles street, opposite the India of
flee, is less than an acre, and would
cost at least E125,000; probably an
other acre might be secured by private
contract, so that the value Of a limited
site in this position would not be less
than G250,OO0
1t has been suggested that single
acre not far from Charing Gross might
be obtained for e. $4,000. Two and
a half acres on the Thames embark
ment have been offered for f400, 600,
and II is stated that six acres may be
procured from Christ's Hospital at
f600. 600. Another good central posi-
ton has been suggested, consisting of
two and half acres, which has been
valued at EGGS, 900.
Even if reduced price were accept
ed. no site in that direction is to be had
for less than a quarter Of a million.
This explanation is offered for falling

early in his career, went TO England to

A Cnrions Life Poem.


Mrs. H. A. Deming, of San Francis
co, is said to have occupied year in
hunting up and fitting together the fol-
lowing thirty-eight lines from thirty
eight English poets. The names of
the authors are given below:
1-Why all this toll for triumphs of an hour?
Life 5 a short summer, man flow er:
S-By turns we catch the vital breath, and
f-The cradle and the tomb, alas so high,

odd Antics OF Birds.

A relative of mine had a large marsh
upon his estate, and here the great
cranes made their summer home,
| building their curious nests there
| and rearing their young, says Prof.
Holder in the San Francisco CAL. The
marsh was surrounded by high grass,
and it was his practice to creep through
| and watch the birds unobserycd. The
antics they went through il would be
impossible to describe-now they would
caper along in pairs, stepping daintily
with the winning gait of the ideal ex-
quisite, lifting their feathers or wings,
taking short steps, and gradually
working themselves UP to bird
frenzy of excitement, when they would
leap into the air and over each others
backs, taking short runs this way and
that, all for the edification of the fe-
males standing by, and finally. after a
series of these exhibitions, the differ
ent birds selected their mates. Among
the birds of the western hemisphere the
cock of the rock ranks next to the
crane in the strangeness of its eyolu-
tons. The bird is confined to South
America, and is about the size of a
small pigeon; has bright orange web in
the male, with a plume-like arrange
ment upon the head. 1t is proud
bird, principally building its nest in
rocky places not frequented by man.
AT the commencement of the breeding
season a party of birds, numbering
from ten to twenty, assemble, and Sc
Letting clear space among the rocks
form ring or circle, facing inward.
Now a small bird takes its place in the
center and begins to hop about, toss its
head. lift its wings, and 60 through all
the strange movements possible, that
appear to be watched with great in
terest by the rest. When the per-
former is thoroughly exhausted he re-
tires to the circle and another bird en-
tiers the ring. and so on, until all have
been put through their PAGES, when
the pairs probably make their selection.
Often the birds are so exhausted after
the dances that they can hardly fly, "
ing painting on the rocks.
Near the borders of southern Cali
fornia is found bird, called the
sunate, that has a strange courtship.
1t is about the size OF magpie. Dur
ing the mating season four or five
birds collect together and seem to vie
with each other in the extravaganza of
their posturing -wooing now in rows,
now single, in regular dance, and,
BY the way Of music. uttering loud.
discordant squawks. Their long tails
are lifted high in the air during this
performance. and their entire behavior

Bloodthirsty Girls.

A prominent feature in any Apache
village are the children. who are un-
kempt little savages. but are much
handsomer in childhood than in mature
life. The care of the male children
devolves upon the man, who carefully
educates them to emulation and prac-
tiee IN deeds of blood, including the
art of scientific tortuling. So well are
these lessons taught that the Apache
boy, at an early age, is ambitious and
fitted to 60 on the warpath. Some of
the most daring deeds in Apache war
fare have been performed by boys who
were emulOus to earn their title to
manhood.
The girl is taught the rude domestic
arts and lessons of labor but her edu-
cation in barbarity is not a whit less
thorough than that Of the boy. The
fate of the captive among the Apaches
has always been most lamentable, but
the greatest cruelty both to men and
women have been perpetrated by the
Apache females. A captive woman,
made compulsorily the wife or slave of
an Apache warrior, is usually, after the
first cruelties of the attending capture,
treated by him as well as other women
in the tribe, but, in his absence, the
captive win be often grieyously beaten
by the other wives.
The education of the Apache girl
begins with her care of the younger
children. She learns to carry water
and to go forth to hunt roots, wild
fruits, and berries, worms and reptiles,
and whatever else goes to make up the
Apache cuisine. She is taught to pre-
pare for eating the game or domestic
animals used for food brought in by
the warriors from their excursions.
Much of this animal food being com
mon property she learns to make a
vigorous fight to secure for her own
household the entrails, which are the
greatest luxury to the Apache. She
subsists largely upon such odds and
ends as she can get by stealth or after
others have been satisfied as the
special household care is the providing
for the wants of the warriors and boys.

S. S. Prentiss, the southern Orator.

Prentiss served but one term in Con-
gress, but his voice was heard in behalf
of the Wings in every campaign until his
death in 1919. at the age of Al. He was
the principal speaker at the great Wing
meeting at Nashville in 1874, when his
icol, Henry Clay, was q candidate for
President.
His speech upon that occasion was
doubtless his master piece on the stump.
When he closed he fell back in a swoon
in the arms of James G. Jones, himself a
magnificent orator, who Rugged him to
his bosom and exclaimed in an ecstasy
of enthusiasm:
Die, Prentiss, die; you will never
have such another glorious opportunity. !"
It was at the close of his great speech
in Faneuil Hall in 1874 that Edward
Everett asked Daniel Webster if he had
ever heard such speech before, and the
answer was:
Never except by Prentiss himself. u
